HP COMPAQ 510 PARTITIONING

i just got my new hp compaq 510... i need your help on how to partition the disk without formatting it.. currently i see only drive C.. but i want it to partition into two.. thank you in advanced!!!

Windows 7 has a disk partitioning tool built in. You first resize (shrink) the C:/ drive down and then you create and format a new partition in the new blank space.

Hi:
You need to load the SATA ACHI drivers into a copy of your XP installation disk by slipstreaming them, or you need to load the SATA ACHI drivers at the Windows XP installation F6 prompt.
See this guide below for how to do this:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x000000...
An alternate method is to go into your system setup (BIOS) and change your drive controller setting from ACHI to IDE.
See the manual below, chapter 5, page 5 for where this setting is found. Device Configurations.
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01857379/c01857379.pdf
You will need to install the SATA ACHI drivers after you install Windows XP before you can change the BIOS setting back to ACHI, or the notebook won't boot.

Compaq 510 touchpad - gets disabled when power cord is disconnected. i.e. in battery mode

compaq 510 touchpad & keyboard - gets disabled & is not working.This happens only when power cord is disconnected from the mains.i.e. in battery mode.External USB mouse works fine.Updated & tried re-installing drivers, but still the problem exists.Please suggest a solution.!!!

My Pavilion zd 7379ea will only start up in battery mode. AC adapter appears OK with a firm green LED, so external power supply may not be the issue here? When I'm starting up (with what's left on the battery), both the charging LED and the AC LED are constantly blinking. When turned off, the battery LED is firm, and battery appears to be charging (but which obviously is not the case). Occasionally, when computer is turned off, the AC LED is lit with a firm light.
One odd thing I noted before this happened was that the computer ran on AC only when my HP printer was connected to one of the USB ports (no battery inserted). If I disconnected the printer USB cord, the computer just died immediately; it was like the computer was powered by the printer. Later I also discovered that the same cord (where it connected to the printer) had melted from extreme overheating. I tried to update the USB drivers for each port but it didn't change things. I also tried to connect a different printer to get the computer started but it didn't work this time. I'd be extremely grateful for any comments that may solve this power supply issue (and if possible explain the stuff with the printer connection).

You unplugged a USB device while the notebook was still booted into Windows and on?
Normally that won't cause any issues but , If you did that you may have damaged your system board's Southport chip.
USB is not a plug n' play port like SATA and eSATA are.
Here is a link to the maintenence manual for your laptop series.
Is your notebook still within warranty? By the processor components listed in the manual,I believe it is probably not.

Compaq 510 Upgrade

I have used compaq 510 for about 10 years. Now i want to upgrade my laptop, especially CPU. It currently using Core 2 Duo T5870. Can i upgrade the CPU and what CPUs can be used as an upgrade
Thanks

Hi:
Below is the link to the quickspecs for your model.
According to the list on page 4, you are already at the max.
http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04284414
If you want to experiment, the Mobile Intel GME965 chipset your notebook has, can support up to the
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9500 (2.60 GHz, 6 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB).
I read the BIOS release notes for your model and there are no versions that add support for other processors.
So... you can live with the status quo or roll the dice and see if one of these processors would work for you.
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9500 (2.60 GHz, 6 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)*
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50 GHz, 6 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)*
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T8300 (2.40 GHz, 3 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)*

Compaq FACTORY_IMAGE Partition. Default Folder settings

Hello All,
Recently I had to run Combofix on an old Vista system but as some will know it unhides hidden and system folders.
In the FACTORY_IMAGE partition which of these folders should be hidden and which should be hidden system.
boot
hp
PC-Doctor 5 for Win PE
PRELOAD
RECOVERY
SOURCES
Windows
If anybody has time to check I would be most grateful. I'm quite sure RECOVERY was visible before Combofix.

Found the answer for anyone in the future asking such a question. the only hidden folder is Windows, The rest are hidden system. RECOVERY is not hidden.

Internal Speaker Laptop NOT WORKING

Hi Guys,
I have problem with my laptop that is HP Compaq 510, OS: window 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
My speaker internal laptop is not working. However, for speaker output to headphone jack is working. So, it will be grateful if anyone can give solution and suggestion for this problem.
Thank in advance
Beezs

Hi,
Since the headphone is working,its not a problem with the OS or the sound drivers on the computer.
Check the volume.
For me it looks like a Hardware issue. Contact the HP Service center if the computer is in warranty. They will fix this issue for you

Compaq 615 crashed. Cannot install the recovery from the partition

Hi,
I got a crash on my compaq 615. I want to restore my comp/windows by using my recovery on the partition but it didn't work.
I want to put a new windows 7 on my comp by usb/dvd but it also didn't work. During the install the windows fily copy is ready(100%) in a few seconds but the next step: windows file extracting stays on 0%. Every time i try.
When i turn the laptop off and start it again there is the following message:
1720-smart hard drive detects imminent failure (failing attr C8)
What can i do? What's the problem? Can anyone help me out?

Hi:
Your hard drive has conked out, and you need to purchase a new one.
Then you should be able to reinstall W7.

How to create a new partion in my HP (Compaq LE1902x )PC that has already 4 primary partitions ?

How to create a new partion (to save my files & Folders) in my HP (Compaq LE1902x )PC that has already 4 primary partitions ? when something goes wrong along with OS(C) drive my all files are lost. so i want to create a new partition & dedicate it to my files & folders.

I would consider another problem. What if the hard drive (not the OS) fails. You'd lose all your data, all partitions. It seems better logic would be to copy your files and folders to either an external hard drive or USB thumb drive.
I would not use the internal backup program, but would manually copy the data. I also would not leave such device attached to the computer.
In my system I have a separate USB thumb drive that stored critical medical and legal documents. That way, I can travel with it, as needed. I also clone my primary desktop every 30-45 days. That way, if I get a failure, it's only that far back on lesser files.

Compaq 2510p restore disk or partition

Hi guys,
I just purched the above laptop second hand and i love it already.
Lots of people at my work use this HP laptop and i decided i needed one!!
I however won a copy of Windows 7 at work and want to install it. So the first thing i did today was to look at the recovery partition and how it worked. Pressing f11 does not work. Also i have no reeovery disks.
So can anyone advise how i would create some (I have no HP backup programs installed) . ?
Thanks
Adam

It sounds as if your Recovery partition is corrupted. You can order Recovery Media from your driver/software page.Usually less than $20, sometimes free when they can't be burned.

Hi,
Download and install the IDT driver on the link below.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp46501-47000/sp46567.exe
When the installation has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
